• Lead coordination across MEP disciplines, ensuring mechanical systems integrate seamlessly with electrical, plumbing, architectural, and structural models without clashes.


• Perform and oversee quality control reviews of mechanical drawings and models, verifying accuracy, constructability, and compliance with applicable building codes, energy standards, and project requirements.


• Collaborate closely with mechanical engineers to translate load calculations, system sizing, airflow design, and equipment selections into accurate, constructible documents.


• Mentor junior designers on mechanical drafting standards, HVAC/piping detailing best practices, and BIM/CAD workflows.


• Generate and manage mechanical construction documents, including general notes, equipment schedules, riser diagrams, and detailed system layouts.


• Support shop drawing reviews, RFIs, and design revisions by incorporating engineering updates into BIM/CAD models and drawing sets.


• Establish and maintain mechanical BIM standards, including model organization, naming conventions, and level of development (LOD).


• Assist in troubleshooting and resolving complex modeling or coordination issues, while identifying process improvements for MEP BIM workflows.


• Prepare 3D visualizations, system diagrams, and coordination views for constructability reviews, internal coordination meetings, and client presentations.
